Migrating CFv5 and CCv5 to CFv7

I have several forms and connections still running in v5 of each. I am starting the process of updating these. Should I replace CCv5 with CCv6, or do I do all of it in CFv7 with Connectivity apps? I am confused by which route to pursue.

Hi Rick,
​
Probably best and simplest to skip CFv6 and go straight to CFv7. You can import CFv5 forms there but. as ever, some tweaking will be required.

Thanks, Bob!
​
I did import a form and didn't have to do too much to it. Replacing the CCv5 is another story because I am thoroughly confused by how to do it in CFv7. Back to the bottom of the learning curve!! LOL

Hi Rick,
​
Good to hear that the form worked OK. I don't know much about CFv7 and nothing about replacing CCv5 so can't help much there :-(

Understood!! I did this to myself by waiting SO long to get into CC after v5. But things just worked so I left well-enough alone. It's just a huge paradigm shift in newer versions but I think I'll get it.

I have just updated my Chronoforms v5 to V7 and when I try to use my imported file from v5 it no longer works in V7 can anyone help, I have zero programming knowledge so it needs to be step by step. I get the attached fault when I try to run my form:
